Supporting California’s goals for reducing greenhouse-gas emissions, both Sempra utilities, San Diego Gas & Electric and Southern California Gas Company (The Gas Company), have committed to reducing the greenhouse-gas emissions of our fleet by approximately 15 percent by 2012.
Compared to 2005 levels, this is the same as removing about 1,600 gasoline-fueled passenger sedans from the road.
To reach this goal, we’re replacing passenger sedan vehicles with hybrid-electric and compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles, and implementing a fleet- optimization program to improve fuel efficiency and driving habits.
Our fleet already includes nearly 1,150 alternative-fueled vehicles. And we’re considering the use of other clean-fuel alternatives, such as bio-gas. Additionally, The Gas Company and SDG&E will provide employees with eco-driving training on how to maximize fuel efficiency both on and off the job.
